albawaba.com: Financial sanctions by the United States and European Union are designed to restrict trade with Iran. Many banks, exchange houses and other institutions have responded by sharply curtailing dealings with Iran. As a result, life has been made harder for the thousands of UAE traders who re-export a wide variety of goods across the Gulf. Many are struggling to obtain letters of credit or other financing to pay for shipments. Under pressure from the UAE Central Bank and the West, many banks are stopping their dealings with Iran >>>

by G. Rahmanian on Thu Mar 22, 2012 08:09 PM PDTSeeing Infuriated IR Cyber Mercenaries desperately cussing and cursing is the most delightful thing on this site!
to those who reading comments here makes you sick!
by tabriz_balasi on Thu Mar 22, 2012 07:10 PM PDTJust want to tell Iranians that if you are feeling sick by readying comments like Fred's, you are not alone. I know you don't write anything, but I just wanted to tell you that you are not alone. Those be upset by these comments, our country has indured alot during it's 7000 years of history; people like Fred are not even as significanat as a dust on a dog urinated street.
Emergency Funds!
by G. Rahmanian on Thu Mar 22, 2012 06:57 PM PDTThose tens of billions of dollars taken from the state's coffers are only part of IR's Emergency Funds saved in foreign banks. The Emergency Funds have a twofold purpose:
1. To help the children of the impoverished ("mostaz'afin") Iranians studying at colleges abroad.
2. To provide spending money for the "Absent Imam!" when he finally decides to reappear. Being gone for so many centuries, no one seems to know his spending habits, thus the precautionary exorbitant sums!
18 billion in Gold
by vildemose on Thu Mar 22, 2012 06:02 PM PDTOne may argue that this could also hurt the people, but continuation of the status quo, which would lead to thefts of even bigger historic proportions than thus far ($18B in gold seized by Turkish gov. a number of $1B to $3B embezzlements in addition to $100B missing from the National Reserve Fund...), does not paint a rosy picture either!
Agreed.

Only a sick twisted mind would cheer these sanctions
by MOOSIRvaPIAZ on Thu Mar 22, 2012 05:45 PM PDTonly the perverted mind, the thirsty for pain and suffering of ordinary iranians would love these sanctions.

Obama and Hilary are going about this Regime Change quietly, methodically and decisively.
We will succeed at the end.

Beautiful!
by asadabad on Thu Mar 22, 2012 04:04 PM PDTThe shiite fanatics persecuting Iran will have to sell their daughters to stay in power! Oh wait, they already do that...it's called sigheh..
I guess a naval blockade and surgical air strikes are next?
The lose-lose situation!
by Arj on Thu Mar 22, 2012 02:43 PM PDTUnlike GWB, who excelled at hollow posturing, Obama's policies have really put the strain on IRI as it's incrementally running out of options!

by long live Iran on Thu Mar 22, 2012 12:59 PM PDTShame on them that they lost even their basic humanitarian feeling for their own country men! Who can get happy for difficulties of the others. Shame on you.
Hopefully IRAN once again takle this problem.
Long Live IRAN
Only if Iranians could cease this …
by Bavafa on Thu Mar 22, 2012 12:28 PM PDTAs an opportunity towards self-sufficiency and self-reliance ! A rather wishful thinking on my part though.
And a rather wishful thinking on Fred’s part to prescribe "air/naval cargo inspection" what Israel has implemented on Gaza strip, a Ghettoization, not only for Palestinians but also for Iranians as well.

Mullahs are nervous!

Air/naval
by Fred on Thu Mar 22, 2012 09:44 AM PDTNext urgent step, air/naval cargo inspection.
